Drove around this morning, as did several others…… Seas 14-17ft today, had high winds and rain all night and today SW winds 35+mph. At least there is no ice…… Didn’t find anywhere that was decent….. one spot was a “maybe, if I hadn’t surfed in weeks”……. but then the color of the water was a turnoff…….. Rest of the week….. Looks like W swell 8ft dropping to 7ft by Friday and Saturday, with W winds turning SE on friday and saturday……. so….. get over this damn head cold quick…… might find some waves this week…… weekend starting to look fun…..
mini rant: Heard and read some comments on the 60 yr old guy who got rescued friday night….. mostly pretty arrogant comments…… my take; anyone who has surfed for alot of years , has had their “moments”…. luckily none of mine required rescueing, but a couple, I wished there might have been….. worse one I can remember was at Kahuku point on the north shore of Oahu….. lots of scrapes and coral cuts climbing out of that little mess….. maybe I am a bit more understanding, especially since I am much closer to this guys age than most of yours….. I know this guy, nice guy, and I only wish him the best…….. maybe when some of the “kids” running off at the mouth get to our age, they might understand a bit more….. but then, I hope they make it to our age………
